Zhao Ma was worried. Seeing her son running away like a rabbit, she stamped her feet in anger. After all, he was her own son, and she couldn't let him go. Even though she was in danger of angering Zhao Qingye, she was still cautiously drumming on Zhao Qingye: "The second son is a good-for-nothing. I wonder what the princess will give him to do? I'm afraid he won't live up to his expectations and ruin the princess's plans!"
This couple is a perfect match, one is paranoid and the other is selfish. Nanny Zhao feels powerless, as her son is stuck in deep trouble. Even if Nanny Zhao wants to write a letter to the Zhao family in the capital, she has to consider her son and can only do what she wants.
Zhao Qingye knew what Madam Zhao meant as soon as she heard it, and looked at her with a half-smile: "Why, Madam, are you afraid that my brother will help me? What do you think I want him to do?"
Aunt Zhao lowered her head and stood by. After thinking for a while, she lowered her voice and said, "Princess, why...why are you doing this?"
There is a good place to live, but they have to go through so much trouble. Madam Zhao really doesn't know why.
Zhao Qingye snorted coldly, and her tone became cold: "Mammy, are you going to teach me how to do things again?" She raised her eyebrows lazily, and raised her voice fiercely: "I asked him to go find Madam Qiu, do you want to ask more clearly? I can tell you everything! If you don't want to stay with me anymore, I can send you back to the Zhao family!"
Having said this, Nanny Zhao didn't dare to say anything more. She was so scared that she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.
Zhao Qingye had a fire in his heart. Su Yao almost took all the good things in the world! She was really capable. She had a share in everything!
Xiao Heng was blind, and even when King Min mentioned her, his tone was full of jealousy and envy.
These stinky men! None of them are good people!
She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and a fire in her heart burned brighter and brighter.
It has come to this, she will definitely not be merciful to Xiao Heng anymore, she wants Xiao Heng and Su Yao to never come back!
Madam Qiu was busy preparing gifts for the palace. She checked the list one by one while instructing the housekeeper without even looking up, "Remember to pick ginseng that is a hundred years old. The princess is very strict. Don't let your gift fail and get blamed instead."
She had given Zhao Qingye so many gifts that she had already gained some experience.
The housekeeper quickly agreed, and then leaned over and replied, "Madam, Zhao Er from the princess's side is here, and he said he came to see you on the princess's orders."
Mrs. Qiu was a little surprised: "See me?"
But she couldn't care less. Since they had come to her house, she couldn't turn them away. She said, "Take them to the front hall. I'll go take a look."
The Qiu family is a wealthy family in Fujian. Originally, Madam Qiu was too lazy to give face to a servant, even if the servant was Zhao Er. But now with the instructions from Master Qiu, she could only humble herself.
When she met Zhao Er, she treated him with courtesy, asked someone to bring him tea, and politely asked Zhao Er why he came.
Zhao Er was very sensible. He stated his intention without any nonsense, and then showed a jade pendant: "This is the token given by the princess. You should recognize it."
Madam Qiu naturally knew her. The jade pendant was given by Madam Qiu. The material was very good, and it was the old pit glass type that was hard to find nowadays. She frowned and asked, "What does the princess want us to do?"
She thought that since such a big fuss had been made, the princess must have some big agenda. Considering that Princess Min's appetite had been growing recently, Mrs. Qiu thought that Princess Min wanted money.
Zhao Er said softly, "Our princess said that she wants to ask Madam Qiu to help me get acquainted with Mr. Qin."
Mrs. Qiu almost couldn't hold the teacup steady. She immediately raised her head and looked at Zhao Er, staring at him intently.
The head of the Qin family is another adopted son of Shen Hai. After Boss Ma got into trouble, it was the head of the Qin family who was responsible for contacting the nine major families and providing them with convenience to let them go out to sea.
The Qiu family had appropriately revealed this matter to King Min. Now the relationship between King Min and the aristocratic families was becoming more and more stable, and he seemed to be intending to bring the nine aristocratic families under his command.
However, now that Princess Min suddenly brought it up, it didn’t seem so reasonable.
Mrs. Qiu quickly reacted and asked calmly, "What does the princess mean?"
"What the princess means is that now is a good time." Zhao Er smiled and said, "If something happens to the Crown Princess in Zhejiang, then... Zhejiang's navy may not be able to be built. This is a good opportunity for your family to make contributions to His Highness. Don't miss the opportunity!
Mrs. Qiu was shocked. She knew that the princess was greedy, but she didn't expect her to be so ambitious.
How long has it been? Prince Min is still on guard against and using the noble families, and has not revealed any fatal things. But this princess came to the door, and she came for such a fatal thing!
She actually wanted to kill the Crown Princess!
Even though Mrs. Qiu was well-informed, she didn't know how to respond at this time. She hesitated for a moment before frowning and said, "I have to ask the master about this matter first. Besides, I don't know if this is the princess's own idea, or..."
But she also knew in her heart that if Prince Min had this intention, he could just tell Master Qiu directly. Anyway, Prince Min was already planning to take action against the imperial envoy of the Maritime Customs.
This matter is most likely just Princess Min's idea.
I don’t know what grudge Princess Min has with the Crown Princess that made her so cruel and find the Qiu family.
This favor...
Mrs. Qiu's hesitation was not unexpected in Zhao Er's eyes. He smiled and said complacently: "Zhou Zhengshan, the general of Zhoushan, Zhejiang, is our princess's brother. The princess said that this is a good thing for both sides. If it is done well, can the prince still not recognize the credit of the Qiu family? We don't need to tell you that wealth and honor are sought in danger. You know it very well in your heart. Our princess has only this wish now. If you can help her achieve it, the quota for going to sea in the future will naturally be the Qiu family's no matter when..."
Mrs. Qiu did not agree immediately, but she was relieved: "How about this, after all, this is a serious matter. We are not saying that we dare to disobey the princess's order, but many things still need to be discussed, and I am afraid that we will delay the princess's business... ... I will discuss it with the master, and I will reply to you after the master gives a reply."
Gave Zhao Er enough face.
Zhao Er couldn't find any fault with these words, so he just nodded and said, "In that case, I will wait for your news, Madam. If it is done, the princess will not treat you unfairly."
